"Shamefully low" number of female headliners at Coachella

Variety is disturbed by the lack of women at Coachella this year. California fest is headlined by Frank Ocean, Travis Scott and Rage Against the Machine, with top 10 performers being mostly men as well - "looking at the 10 top-billed artists on each day, Friday’s is 2/10 female, Saturday’s is 3/10, and Sunday’s rockets the XX-chromosome ratio to 4/10... Take a look at the world in 2020 and consider the statement and moment a top billing for Lana Del Rey could have made... Del Rey could well steal the night and end up a de facto headliner anyway".
